Meghan Markle Buys Jewelry Retail Just Like Everybody Else, Source Says

Meghan Markle reportedly buys her jewelry from retail stores.

The Duchess of Sussex has become known for her clothing and accessories. According to jewelry designer Adina Reyter, Markle purchases her jewelry at retail stores just like everybody else. "When you're a royal, you can't accept gifts. So she actually bought them retail and we only found out when we saw it," Reyter said (via Us Weekly).

Reyter designs pieces for "real women" with busy and fulfilling lives. When she learned that Markle and Prince Harry were dating, she was determined to get an item for the former "Suits" star.

"Your jewelry just has to make sense if you're going to invest money in it and that's really how I think," Reyter explained. "The minute [Meghan and Prince Harry] started dating, I came into my office and I said to everybody, 'We have got to get jewelry to this woman! She is our customer. She's relatable and she's beautiful.'"

Markle has been seen wearing Reyter's pieces, and the designer takes it as a validation that they are doing things right. She also takes pride in the fact that the Duchess of Sussex wears their items again and again.

"Just the fact that a [royal] is wearing our jewelry is really an incredible moment. I think it gives us validation too that what we are doing is right. That with everyday fine jewelry, we're onto something," Reyter continued.

"I think a lot of people don't want to wear a heavy earring. They want something that's comfortable, that they can live in, that they can wear to an event that a duchess would go to, to the park or to dinner. So I think again, [she] brings in that relatability … It's so exciting because she wears them again and again and that's the whole point of our jewelry."

Markle is also popular in making a statement through her fashion. When she visited Cardiff, the new royal opted to wear mismatched earrings.

One of her earrings featured an arrow-shaped by Zofia Day that promotes women empowerment and giving back to the community. The other one is a triple star climber from Gabriela Artigas that carries the message of "conscious and respectful outlook towards the environment."
